I do everything myself, but if you're not the do-it-yourself type and don't expect to move out of town, you may actually come out ahead. Just make sure you like that dealer and will want to come back. Talk to the service manager, check out the service bays.

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 07, 2009 6:45 am) On the Gold plan, find out if you can get the 100,000 mile plan for that price if you think you will us that many miles in 7 years. I think it is better to run out of time (if possible) rather than run out of warranty due to miles. But, if you manage to hit your mileage limit near the time limit.... you did it just about right!

Replying to: xwesx (Aug 07, 2009 4:03 pm) I think I will drop both. The following is my reasoning: As per the $700 Maintenance plan, Subaru included the 24000/2-year maintenance plan for free with my purchase (it is a Texas promo). So, that $700 is buying me the 30000, 37500 and 45000 service. And those last two services are largely just oil changes/rotations. As for the $1000 extended warranty, with subaru.net offering the same deal for $1020, it seems delaying the purchase is not a costly decision. I only pay a $20 penalty if I want it later. What do you two think? |

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 18, 2009 6:11 am) The last thing that bugs me about the maintenance plan is that it includes a coolant change. Yet the 2009 Outback has coolant that lasts 100000+ miles. So I did reject both. I hope to pick up the extended warranty later. There have been several references in the forums that better offers are made by Subaru in the mail, over time.
